Notably absent is Jamaica’s Chris Gayle who was signed by the Zouks in April. In June, the team announced that he would not be suiting up this season due to “personal reasons.”

“I’m excited to lead those guys out there in the middle,” said captain Daren Sammy, following today’s draft. Sammy said it is very difficult to replace somebody like Chris Gayle but his absence gives another player an opportunity to step up to the plate. He wished Gayle all the best and said that he supports and respects his decision to sit out for personal reasons. “We all know in this sport how time spent away from family could never be regained. And also during this COVID-19, I understand that Chris has not seen his family because of the travel restrictions for a while. We will represent you well this season. This is the St Lucia Zouks and we are excited about this years CPL,” said Sammy.
